  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hey...

I need help in a relationship with a non-christian guy... I've told him about my faith and my decision to wait with the physical and he said he respected it and so far it's all good. I can see that he has been changing since we first started getting to know each other and I also know that as a Christian I can help him. I feel there is something I am meant to do for him and not sure if we are meant for eachother; but I know he really cares for me.
However, I'm a bit unsure of how to testify of my story and honestly I'm afraid of loosing him... Because I really do love him.... But I wish to know God's will for this relationship and what is meant to be.

I'm going to tell him tonight, so please pray it will all work out for the best;
and no pain will be caused.

Thank you.

It is difficult being in a relationship with a non christian and I pray that things work out. If he is not saved I would be very careful in taking the relationship further than a friendship but you are right that he may well be saved through your witness however do be careful to make sure things go in the right order and that he is saved before you take the relationship further. God bless you, I pray God will lead and guide you both

Thank you for your prayers.
So I talked to him last night, but didn't get to tell him my story yet... However, he told me that he was raised Christian Catholic and that he believes, so I guess he is halfway there.
I was really surprised to know, but relieved. We have only been together for 2 months, so there's much more to know. I'm not giving up on him, but I know I have to find the right time to tell him all, and let it happen gradually:)

There are a lot of faithful practicing Christian catholics who believe in Christ and the resurrection so as long as he is practicing and abiding by God's way, he is a Christian believer.

Father God, if these two are meant to be together, may You work it out to the good. Grant her the wisdom and the words to tell her story, In Jesus Name, Amen

Whatever you do, guard your heart from your heart. God warns us from being unequally yoked so I don't want you to be in a position that you have gone too far and your relationship with God has suffered for it. Guard your heart from your heart. "Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life." I pray that God will give you the wisdom, patience and just be solid as a rock in your foundation. In Jesus name, Amen.
